From Inside Cover: "What first attracted me about you was the fact that you were wholly indifferent to my war wound," Lord Simon Grey confessed. "Most women I meet want to soothe my brow with their soft white hands."
Cathleen gave a low laugh. "Then you needn't worry. I have no soft white hands. If the bruth be known, I'm far more accustomed to mucking out stables than pouring tea in a drawing room."
He captured her hands and held them. "Don't be ashamed of such hands. Why do you think I fell in love with you almost at first sight, except that you were wholly unlike all the women I've known?"
"Because of my ruined hands, " Cathleen joked. Then his words penetrated, and her face went deathly pale. " What did you say?"
But Cathleen knew perfectly well what Lord Simon had just said. The question is: What should she...what could she...what would she..do?
This book is pretty simple and straightforward. I really liked it though, because the hero is rendered vulnerable by his damaged leg from war and I have a real soft spot for vulnerable men. Also, the heroine has a saucy tongue, and I do enjoy good bantering between the protagonists. I recommend this book for a quick and easy read, and enjoyable story line.
